Sick Day

I absolutely hate being sick. I think it's the worst. It's just incredibly boring to be stuck in bed for days at a time with nothing to do but feel sorry for yourself. And let me tell you, the past few days I've gotten really good at feeling sorry for myself.

On a brighter note, I got an A on my Jackie Winsor paper and I'm really psyched. This is the first semester that I've actually gotten an A on a graduate school paper. That means things are finally looking up, I think. Anyway, now I'm certain that I'm going to work on her for my thesis. Unfortunately, Sascha says that I have to choose between the environmental angle and the feminist angle, which makes me squirm because I'm not sure I can pick one. I think I know that the environmental angle is more original and makes more sense but the I really don't want to drop the feminism because it really is who I am as an art historian, or who I want to be. One article she gave me combines the two in a successful way so I'm going to read it and see if I can somehow do the same. I'll let you know how it works out.

I'm going to spend the day editing the paper so I can use it as a writing sample for internship applications. I also have a cover letter to write so let's hope that somehow gets done as well.
